'You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.'

The Great Depression was not caused by the stock market crash of 1929...it was caused by the lack of money in circulation. This is very much like credit drying up (same). You can well imagine the implications of foreign markets, wary of our "promise to pay" (seeing as we are now over TEN TRILLION DOLLARS in debt), refusing the shipments we have become so dependent on. Welcome to the world of fractional reserve lending, finance capitalism, and interdependence, all rolled into one, like so many pigs in the mud. The united States of America's independence was sold on the international markets. Like HOTT has said...do what you can in order to insure your survival for six months to a year...as I said several years ago...hang on tight, the ride's about to get pretty bumpy.

North Korea reported ready to fire more missiles

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has deployed more than 10 missiles on its west coast for what appears to be an imminent launch, a South Korean newspaper said on Thursday, two days after the North fired two short-range missiles into the Yellow Sea. It would be an unprecedented test if the North fired all of the surface-to-ship and ship-to-ship missiles, but intelligence sources quoted by the Chosun Ilbo paper said they thought the North may launch five to seven of them. The North has forbidden ships to sail in an area in the Yellow Sea until October 15 in preparation for the launch, an intelligence source told the paper. The North fired two missiles on Tuesday in routine military drills, South Korea's defence minister said on Wednesday. "If the North fires a large number of missiles, it would be difficult to see it as routine exercise," the source was quoted as saying.

Sadly, few people understand what is actually happening here today...few know what the "plan" is, but as it turns out, the "Conspiracy theorists" were right, but the people at large wouldn't listen. The people were taught to ridicule "conspiracy" talk, as if the truth were ridiculous lies. War has been declared on the people of the united States by their very own elected officials. The war is, to a great degree, economic. They put that pyramid on the back of the dollar bill for a reason. As you watch your savings and your country's economic system go down the tubes, you are quickly becoming an economic slave. The government and the media will easily manipulate "public opinion" against those of us who believe in the constraints of Constitutional government and the original structure that was created in this country so long ago, but has been taken from us. I said years ago that the "terrorist" of the "future" is an American standing with the Constitution in one hand and a rifle in the other...that "future" is here...NOW!

"Congress has specified that a Federal Reserve Bank must hold collateral equal in value to the Federal Reserve notes that the Bank receives. This collateral is chiefly gold certificates and United States securities. This provides backing for the note issue."

Really ?

"Federal Reserve notes are not redeemable in gold, silver or any other commodity, and receive no backing by anything This has been the case since 1933. The notes have no value for themselves, but for what they will buy. In another sense, because they are legal tender, Federal Reserve notes are "backed" by all the goods and services in the economy."

Emergent Church: Top Evangelicals Like Dr. Dobson Huddle with the Hares and Hunt with the Hounds!

Don Boys, Ph.D.
It is obvious that many evangelical leaders do not want to be “put on the spot” especially when they are asked to take a position that embarrasses their friends or supporters. Many evangelical leaders often criticize political cronyism in the political arena but often refuse to deal with religious cronyism when their friends are involved. Too many evangelical leaders preach convictions but practice compromise. They are quick to point out dangerous error in the political arena but are very reluctant to see dangerous error in some of their own connections. On many controversial issues their favorite color is grey. Not black or white. They try to huddle with the hares and hunt with the hounds! Such is the relationship of leading evangelicals with the Emergent Church.
There is no question that the Emergent Church is a departure from historic Christianity. Their many leaders are unabashed universalists, mystics, and kingdom builders. Leaders make it very clear that they are not too concerned with your final destination as long as your journey is kingdom oriented—and you vote Democrat! As with all movements, there would be some who do not take extremist positions; however, I cannot be rightly accused of distortion, dishonesty, or even disingenuousness. EC leaders are prolific authors and have made their positions clear.

I contacted leading evangelicals to see where they stand on this clearly unorthodox movement and found it very revealing. I am aware that interdenominational ministries must appeal to all segments of Christians to pay their bills; however, the Scripture is clear that all of us have an obligation to stand for truth and against error. We all make mistakes, take wrong positions from time to time but to remain in error is without excuse. To make errors is really human but to remain in error is really dumb!

Furthermore, all Christians are obligated to contend for the faith and to exhort, rebuke, etc., but when some try to carry out such clear commands they are accused of being haters, heresy hunters, grenade throwers, bigots, etc., and those are the kind things they call us!

I informed many leading evangelical leaders that I was writing a series on the Emergent Church that would go to over 11,000 newspapers, television and radio stations and would appreciate a response so my readers can assess them. I had some surprises.

My first response was from Moody and they were very definite. “Moody Bible Institute does not endorse the emerging/emergent church.” There it is, very precise with no dodging. Moody is to be commended. They went on to say, “Scripture is our sole authoritative source of revelation and insight into the God whom we serve. Therefore, Moody rejects an overemphasis on spiritual experience as a reliable teacher of spiritual truth and on cultural relevance as the highest goal of ministry.”

My response from Precept Ministries (Kay Arthur) here in the Chattanooga area was from Diane Hitt who was very kind, helpful, and informed. She said, “Kay has spoken at some conferences where EC people also were although she disagreed with many of them especially leading authors.” She said, “Kay believes, ‘If I don’t go out with the truth how will they hear?’” Diane was informed about some of the leaders and their books along with their false teaching.

I don’t question Kay’s sincerity and good motives to get out the truth; however, it is the same justification Billy Graham has used for 50 years in his yoking up with unbelieving preachers, and I believe all of us must be careful about our associations and ministries we silently approve by our alliances with those in doctrinal error. After all, if we really love those in error are we not obligated to tell them the truth?

I received a message from Ravi Zechariahs’ assistant who wrote, “Ravi has not written or spoken directly on the emergent church. He feels they are asking good questions, but he has concerns over the answers they are providing. I can give you some resources that we have sent to others regarding these topics.” As she continued, she seemed to be uncomfortably straddling a very thin fence. A website she provided was really a defense by the main spokesmen for the Emergent Church! Ravi is known as a Christian apologist and I expected better of him.

Moreover, I disagree about the EC leaders asking “good” questions. I have noted that their questions usually elicit left wing, radical, kingdom building, responses. Furthermore, Zechariah appeared on Robert Schuller’s television program in April 2004 without any caution, correction, or condemnation of Schuller’s many flaky theological errors. It seems Ravi the watchdog has become a lapdog! How tragic.

Chuck Swindoll responded with a pitch for me to spend time on his website. He never responded to my question. I replied to him that he ignored my question as to his stand on the EC. Much later, I received another message from an assistant who said, “The movement does not place proper emphasis on theology, the doctrines of the faith, the great truths that have come down through the centuries.” Then he added, “We are not a party to or participant in the Emergent Church movement.” That is good to know, however Swindoll has recommended “Mother” Teresa, and some radical evangelicals such as Schuller!

Word of Life responded with, “We are not impressed with the emerging nor the emergent church due to the basis on postmodernism.” They recommend D.A. Carson’s book, Becoming Conversant with the Emerging Church .

An assistant at Crystal Cathedral wrote, “The Crystal Cathedral does not hold a stands (sic) on the issue you have brought to our attention. Please know that as we gather for prayer we will pray for you.” Of course, that is religious babble. Robert Schuller has taken a stand on the issue. He is part of the problem! He has compounded his sin of compromise with the sin of lying.

Charles Stanley’s representative told me that Stanley “has not taken a position for or against the EC.” That statement was, if not dishonest, at the least, devious and disingenuous. Stanley has recommend books by EC leaders without disclaimers.

Campus Crusade responded by saying, “We work with all kinds of churches so we would not have a position against any group.” I asked “What about Mormons, JW, etc.?” “Well, no, we don’t work with them.” She told me, “Our ministry is one of evangelism.” However, Christian preachers have far more responsibilities than that. Billy Graham used that on Larry King Live when he said, “My message is one of love.” That is an incomplete and innocuous message to preach. Who could get offended by that?
I did not get a reply from American Family Association (Don Wildmon), Jonathan Falwell, Back to the Bible, Jack Van Impe, Christian Working Woman, Beth Moore, or David Jeremiah.
I received a reply from Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family informing me via his top assistant that Dobson was at a mountain retreat writing a book about rearing girls. I responded to him thusly:

“You are absolutely correct in stating that churches and movements must ‘be measured by its adherence to and reverence for the Scriptures and its fidelity to an historic, orthodox understanding of the Christian faith. Deviance in that regard should always be cause for concern.’ I only wish that other groups would use that as their criteria.

“Using your own criteria, does Dr. Dobson agree with his wife’s assessment of Robert Schuller’s ministry when she said on his television program that he was doing a ‘good work’? Doesn’t Dr. Dobson know Schuller is a universalist? Was her statement only an off-the-cuff remark that most people make especially under the stress of a television or radio show or does she actually believe her statement? If so, does Dr. Dobson believe that?

“Since Schuller does not believe the New Birth is necessary to go to Heaven, how can Dr. Dobson use his endorsements and why would he declare that Schuller’s ‘message is still very Christian in nature’? 

“Furthermore does Dr. Dobson agree with his son’s statement that Rod Bell is ‘an exemplary man of God’ in light of the information I have included?” After many weeks, I have not received an answer.

I appreciate those who took a clear stand against the EC and am embarrassed that Christian ministries like Stanley, Dobson, Campus Crusade, Schuller, and others have chosen to huddle with the hares and hunt with the hounds. Each reader will make his or her own assessment as to the reason I received no response from Falwell, Christian Working Woman, Don Wildmon, David Jeremiah, Beth Moore, Van Impe, Back to the Bible and Concerned Women of America. If preachers had courage, character, commitment, and convictions they would provide better examples of biblical obedience to Christian laymen who support such ministries. Their supporters deserve better.
It’s time to decide: Will evangelical leaders huddle with the hares or hunt with the hounds—or attempt to do both? I have tried to be helpful to ministry leaders who are pressed for time to accomplish their tasks, but some are not willing to be helped or are so arrogant that they don’t recognize a need of help.
My philosophy has been "He who is honestly mistaken, when he hears or sees the truth, will either cease to be mistaken, or cease to be honest." Many leading ministries are on the wrong side of this issue. What a tragedy.

One headline from N.Y. American dated April 27, 1932
"Writers Paid To Push Stocks Senators Told"
Excerpt:
"From 1925 to 1931 inclusive, 5,542 banks in this country closed their doors with losses of 3,662,177,736 to American bank depositors. This exceeds in both number of banks and liabilities the entire 32 years prior to 1925- that is from 1898 to 1924 inclusive when 5,264 failed with losses of 1,981,546,602. To think that 10,806 banks could go under through mismanagement, or any other cause, with total losses of 5,643,724,338 and but a handful of bankers go to jail is unbelievable. If they had all closed in one day it would have been dramatic but spread over 39 years apparently American citizens and lawmakers have blinked at the spectacle."
"All securities on Jan. 1, 1925, aggregated 63.6 Billions; rose to 138.9 Billions in 1929 (1930 for Bonds) and declined to 59.1 Billions May 1, 1932- a net loss of 79.8 Billions from the top.To state the value of securities depreciated 79.8 Billions from the peak of 1929 to the May 1, 1932, lows does not tell the entire story as staggering as it appears."
"Cold statistics do not, and can not, reveal the ruin of millions of individual investors, leaving bankrupts, broken homes, and suicides in it's path. But it helps to visualize the dollar damage brought about by the world's greatest gambling spree"

The book shows how, well before Operation Mockingbird, the press was well paid to broadcast lies, and played an important, an instrumental, role in fleecing the public by being the propaganda tool for Wall Street.
Excellent addition to the library of anyone who is interested in the financial deception of our history or the present time....

Funny how you can find so much interesting entertainment in a small story like this. I never knew where the term originated...well, here it is.
Don't you love the name of his company? "Securities Exchange Company", sounds familiar doesn’t it?

NEVER TICK OFF A NURSE

A big shot attorney had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. He was
a royal pain to the nurses because he bossed them around just like he did
his staff. None of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with
him.

The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him. She came into
his room and announced, 'I have to take your temperature.' After
complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down, crossed his arms
and opened his mouth.

'No, I'm sorry,' the nurse stated, 'but for this reading, I can't use an
oral thermometer.' This started another round of complaining but
eventually he rolled over and bared his behind.

After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her announce, 'I
have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get back!'

She left the door to his room open on her way out. He cursed under his
breath as he heard people walking past his door, laughing.

After a half hour, the man's doctor came into the room.

'What's going on here?' asked the doctor.

Angrily, the man answered, 'What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you ever seen
someone having their temperature taken?'

After a pause, the doctor confessed.....

'Not with a carnation.'
